The 30' RatBar is a must - have for every entry team. Crafted from high - strength steel in a single, drop - forged piece, it offers outstanding durability for long - term service. Here are its key features: a thin, curved fork that can remove door hinges; a thin yet strong adze end with a slight curve; a hex - shaped shaft for great control in gloved or wet conditions; and an optional spike for inward - swing doors or padlocks. This multipurpose tool quickly handles doors, locks, hinges, and windows. It comes in lengths of 24" (61 cm) or 30" (76 cm), is drop - forged from high - carbon steel and fully heat - treated. It has a tactical black coating (chrome - plated option available), weighs 9 lbs, and is made in the USA. The RatBar, a single - piece cast using high - strength alloy, is very popular. It can be used with or without a spike for fast work on locks, latches, or doors. A heavy - duty nylon sling is included. It's available in tactical black or chrome - plated finish and weighs 10 lbs. Options include PB30 (30" Ratbar), PB30 - S (30" Ratbar with spike), and PB30 - S - CP (30" Ratbar with spike, chrome - plated).
Using the Ratbar is straightforward. When dealing with doors, slide the thin fork behind the door to remove hinges. For locks and latches, the adze end can be used to pry them open. If you're facing an inward - swing door or a padlock, attach the optional spike. When using, wear gloves for better grip, especially in wet conditions due to the hex - shaped shaft. Make sure to use the tool with the right amount of force to avoid damage to the tool or the object you're working on. After each use, clean the tool with a dry cloth. If it's dirty, you can use a mild detergent. Keep it stored in a dry place. For the chrome - plated version, avoid using abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching the surface.
